The Dushore Editors were among the court guests, Monday. James Qulnn of Cherry, was call ing on friends at the county seat, Friday. The managers of the Dushore Driving Park have decided to hold a fair next year. A dog fight on Main street Tues day noon, created considerable excitement. Mr. Burroughs of Sunbury, is doing the short hand act in court, this week. Lyman llarvey of Laporte twp., was doing business at the county seat, Saturday. Mrs. E. V. Ingham of the 'Mere, was visiting friends in town, the early part of the week. Joseph Bobbins and wife of near Nordmont, attended Episcopal ser vices at Laporte, Sunday. Mr. J. P. Little of near Nordmont will dispose of his personal property at public vendue, on Tuesday' Oct. 2, isy*. Since the passage of the bunco bill sugar has advanced only 20 per cent. Another advance will follow soon. Joseph Gansel of Muncy Valley, will dispose of his personal property at public sale, on Thursday Oct. 18, 1894. Benjamin Speary, an old veteran of Nordmont, attended the sol diers encampment at Pittsbnrg last week. Hon. Bussel Karns and wife and daughter Mrs. It. M. Stormont, were shopping in Williamsport, Sat urday. Saturday the 29th will be the last day of the Hughesvillc Fair. A large number of our people will be there. County Supt. F. W. Meylert, held Teachers' Examination tor Laporte boro. and township in the Hall, Wednesday. Do not Forget our County Fair which will open at Forksville, on Wednesday October 3d,and continue for four days. The Y. W. C. T. U. will meet at the homo of Miss Fannie Meylert, Friday evening Sept. 21. All arc Gordially invited. Politically, the Democrats and Republicans of Sullivan county were never more harmoniously than at the present time. Lets keep it in this channel. Free wool is causing the farmers of the country to sell their sheep to butchers. Before long mutton will be a luxury beyond the reach of the average citizen. A- A. Ovepholtzer, proprietor of the Laporte Hotel, has a parrot that talks German as well as American. It is a good convorser and enter tains lots of people. The Forksville Fair will be held October 3d, 4th, sth and Gth. The management arc making an extra effort to make this the best ever held on the grounds. A large majority of the people in attendance at court, took a look at oyr new courthouse. They pro nounced jt a good looker and a first olass building. The hand bills announcing the Forksville Fair are very neatly got ten up. They are printed in colors and were done by an Ohio printing establishment. Many democratic congressmen are ashamed to look a cheep in the face since by their vote for free wool they have ruined his usefulness and consigned him to the dogs. F.x-County Commissioner, I). W, Scanlin of Cherry, was among the c mrt guests iu town, on Monday. Ha came over as a witness iu a Com monwealth case. Hun is the same old hoy that lie used to IM> and en joys a joke with the »ame good grace as of yore. He ha* » whole lot of friends over hert« who were wore than pleased t > see him. The attendance at court is quite large. Old settlers say we are going to have a wet spell of weather. Can tin' farmers of Sullivan county remember when they were obliged to sell their lambs for #2 apiece, as they aro compelled to do at the pre sent. time? We havo I'eter Jackson with lis. He is barn boss at the Laporte Hotel. Ho is a large colored man and can kick fifteen feet in the air. We would advise you to use Peter white. Mr. and Mrs. S, B. Karns of La porte, will leave for Philadelphia on Monday next where Bert will study law in the University. They have leased rooms and will keep house in the city. The number of guests registered at our Hotels this week, are as follows: Commercial Hotel, 200; Laporte Hotel, 84; Mountain House, 76; Fairview Cottage, 40; Eagle Hotel, 14. The sugar speeches of the demo cratic campaigner will not have the same seductive effect as in days gone by. The audiences will ask the questions and the. speaker will be on the defensive. The leaders of the Democratic party held a secret session in a room of the Laporte Hotel Monday even ing. The rank and file of their party in attendance at court, were not invited to participate. The supper given by our people in the new building of J. W. Ballard for the benefit of the M. E. church, on Tuesday evening, was a complete success, both socially and financi ally. The gross receipts were $25. County Commissioners Litzelman, Webster and Farrell and their clerk John E Gallagher, left last evening for Pottsville where they will attend the State Commissioners' Conven tion, which convens in said place, to day, Thursday. Stewart Chase will take possession of the Tinklepaugh boarding house on Cherry street, the Ist of October. With this done all of our hotels and boarding houses with the exception of the Mountain House, will have changed hands in a very short time. General Hastings will speak at Williamsport on Tuesday evening Sept. 25th. A big time is anticipat ed and our Sullivan count}' people aro respectively invited to attend. It will be a large night in Williams port. "How can we face tiie people after indulg ing in such outrageous discriminations and violations of principles?.—(President Cleveland in the Wilson letter,' Nothing, Grover, but hard cheek and an unlimited quantity of con centrated gall which your party pos sesses could frame an excuse for the last Democratic Congress. The Bituminous Record , publish ed by R. A. Kinsloc at Philipsburg, Pa., although a strong Democratic paper,has come out frankly for Gen. Hastings for Governor and gave a throe column article in his behalf last week. To Jail Till lie Ate A l.oal. For stealing a loaf of bread from a bakery in Wilkes-Barre, Mayor Nichols sentenced 70 j-ear old Jacob Rutlty to the lock-up till he ate the loaf. The old man ate his way to liberty in four hours. The Maine election held on Mon day of last week, was a corker. The Republicans carried the state by 37- 000 majority, the largest ever known in the history of the party. This is the key note of what will take place on the Gth of November. I'H) Your THX. Now that you have registered and have been assessed,the next thing to be attended to is the payment of your tax.

They got off the train at the j Tannery station and walked to the | school house, in which court is being ! temporarily held. Ally. J. O Neon ten with his long tail linen duster, headed the procession up the hill. ■Scouten makes r\ good leader, The Forksvillu Fair piotnises to jbe extra good this season.

The Towanda Review gave a por trait of landlord Sceley of Forksville last week, and in their biographical -ketch of his life said that he was a show for the small boys when he lived in Towanda, meaning of course his avordupois. lie tips the scales at 450 pounds. Mr. Seeley will bo a sort of a side show at the Forks ville Fair. Is a man in the liquor business a proper man to represent us in ll.ir risbur*? Of course the answer of the temperance people is a foregone conclusion, but we refer the question especially to those of our tax payers who occasionally take a glass of beer. We make no comment, but simply ask you to give the question a thought. The fact that Messrs. Ant6ii and McDevitt, Democratic Congressional Conferees of Northumberland coun ty, would not and did not vote to make Mr. Buckalew's nomination unanimous in their conference, is of much significance in Northumber land county. It may appear of no consequence to our people, but the result of the bolt on the part of the conferees will add much to the boom of our friend Kulp. If you want to be on the winning and the right side vote for Farmer Kulp. On Xlie Slump Monroe 11. Kulp, of Shamokin, the Republican candidate for con gress in the district comprising Northumberland, Columbia, Mon tour and Sullivan counties, was a Sabbath visitor and spent the day with his friend, 11. J. Mills. He will open his campaign at Shamokin to da}' and will speak on the same platform with General Hastings when the latter visits Mr. Kulp's district.—Pottsville Miners' Jour nal. Our candidate for President Judge lien. E. M. Dunham, is looked upon as one of our very best attornies. He is competent in every respect to preside as President Judge of this dis trict and the people will so sustain us in this remark, notwithstanding the little dirty slurs flung out in Grand imother, last week. Ed. as he is familiarly known has served our people in the Legislative Chambers, District Attorney and other promi nent offices, and as an officer did his constituents honor. Hon. F. 11. Piatt of Tunkhannock who was nominated lor Member by the Democratic party of Wyoming county in their convention at a recent date, has declined the nomination and at a meeting of the Wyoming county standing committee, held on Monday of last week, E. S. Wheeler was placed on the ticket in place of Piatt. Mr. Piatt is an old politician and evidently seen defeat staring him in the face. lie possibly might have withdrawn however, in the in terest of Judge Sittser. If this be true, Wheeler's throat will be cut from ear to ear, on the 6th of Nov ember. Deputy Collector, Buckingham ofj tbis district, was in Lapoite one day last week collecting 2 cents a pack on playing cards offered for sale bv onr several merchants. This is in aceor dance with the Wilson bill. We are told that he collected 12 els. of our store keepers. As the charges for riding in the hack from the depot to the city is 15 cents, his collections fell short three cents of paying the bill. The Government pays Buck ingham and we presume his bill will be not less than $75, for doing this county. He will perhaps collect for the people £lO. A profitable invest* ment for you and J, isn't it? This is a fair sample of the Democratic Wilson bill. Jennings Bros, of Lopez give em ployment to one or two hundred men daily. One of this firm, B. W. Jen nings is the peoples' candidate for Member. He is a progressive young man and one that is deserving of the support of the Sullivan county peo ple. Their saw mill is one of the largest industries in the county. With this mill closed, how would it effect Lope/. ? W\y, the business there would almost come to a stand still. All will admit this. l{aveyou consideied the fact too, that the Jennings Bros, pay out in wages, eight or ten thousand dollars, month ly? and that they pay fourteen hun dred dollars county tax ? Messrs. Jennings gave County Treasurer, A. L, Smith a check of this amount one day recently, which only settled lhat part of their tax due the ootiu ty. In addition to this they pay n large school, road and pool tux. Are they not deserving ? We think so and like many others feel that Worth should receive the support and vote of every good thinking tax |iayer in the County. When you . Uavo hummed up the situation in this context, you will admit that while both Mr. Farrrll and Mr. :tre gentlemen, the latter is the de* I serving one. HliJ' llKklll'.H. With the nomination of Charles It Buckalew by the Democratic conference at Danville the issue in this Congressional district is made up; and the voters from now on will bo called upou to make their choice. No one will pispute Mr. Bucka lew's abilities as a lawyer nor deny his reputation as a diplomat. These are not issues in this campaign. The question is simply which of the two men will best serve the interests of the district and contribute most to the prosperity of the country. The President has declared that the tariff war must goon. Not con tent with the fact that after having kept the country in a state of depres sion and anxiety for a year, at the end of which they were compelled, by the state of business, to pass a bill whose only commendatory fea ture is the measure of protection it affords, and whose odious income tax and diferential duties in favor of the sugar trust no one defends. Not content with these things, they as a party demand a continuation of this struggle. It certainly will be continued if the next Congress is Democratic. Wc are not calamity howlers but we feel and know that the only hope of that era of prosperity we all desire, lies in stopping the warfare on American industries. Ilence we are for Kill p. Mr. Buckalew's whole past record his stand during the war, his associ ation in the Senate and House unmis takeably indicate that his future alliances like those of the past, will be with the South. The future of this country cannot be trusted to that section and their allies. Their whole policy is des tructive of national wealth and national credit. The mission of the Republican party is to put this country- on a sound basis, to rescue the treasury from its present depleted condition, to so restore the confidence of the world that we may enter upon a pro longed period of prosperity and our factories and industries once more resound with the happy voices of thrifty people. Neither by past record, present association or per sonal temperament is Buckalew qualified to represent our people at this crisis. In the past he preferred a divided confederacy to a nation preserved by the law. In the present he is the associate, anil if'elected would be the colleague, of the men who framed and passed the Wilson bill and whose inability to act was and is the cause of our present depression. In temperament he cannot sympathize or associate with the working people of this country. Kulp on the contrary is a self made young man, who has toiled with the toilers, and who has felt the pangs of adversity and who will make a lighting soldier on the peo ples side of the next Congress. The sum ami substance of the tariff question, as Abraham Lincoln view ed it, was given in his first speech on the tariff question, which was short and to the point, lie said he did not pretend to be learned in po litical economy, but lie thought that he knew enough to know that "when an American paid twenty dollars for steel to an English manufacturer America had the steel and England had the twenty dollars. But when he paid twenty dollars for steel to an American manufacturer America had the steel and the twenty dollars." It was certainly a great tariff speech in a very few words, simple and to the point. There is a suspicion abroad that some of the honest sheep raisers in Lycoming county are playing a game upon the county that would do credit to a heathen (Jhinoe. It is alleged that when a sheep is killed the auditors are informed. They see the sheep appraise it and go away, but while the auditors are turning out of the lane, the owner ot another tlock of sheep will take the dead animal to his home, summon the auditors, have it appraised and re* ceive the money from the commis sioners. Then one or two other men do likewise, until finally the county pays out about S-'O dollars for that one sheep.

The people owning lot 3 on West Meylcrt street should receive the same treatment, one tax payer is no better in this respect than another and if our Town Council had a little backbone our town would possess a much better appearance and our walks much less dangerous to walk upon. Mr. J. W. Flynn, superintendent of the Laporte Tannery and Miss Mollie Brieger of Laporte, are to be married on Tuesday September 25th. The fact that Mr. Flynu is superin tendent for the Union Tanning Co.. is sufficient endorsement that he is a good business man aud is well liked by a host of friends.
